Daily Dose: 5 Steps for Turning Resolutions into Results

The arrival of January 1st is like a mental reset—a chance to leave behind the old and embrace the new. But let’s be honest: Resolutions without action are just hopes written on paper.

If you want to make 2025 the year you actually turn your goals into results, here are some proven principles, updated from Momentum & Mastery, to help you hit the ground running.

1. Step Into the Driver’s Seat

The most fundamental step to creating results is taking ownership of your life. Look at the decisions you’ve made so far, not to criticize, but to learn.

Rip out the victim mentality. Top performers don’t let circumstances run their lives—they define their circumstances. For 2025 to look different, you must be the one steering the wheel.

2. Build Emotional Leverage

Logic doesn’t drive action—emotion does.

If you’ve ever set a goal and failed to follow through, it’s likely because you didn’t feel deeply connected to it. Attach real meaning to your resolutions.

What’s the cost of staying the same? What’s the reward for making progress? When the stakes are emotionally significant, obstacles won’t stand a chance.

3. Don’t Wait—Start Now

There’s no magic in waiting for the “perfect” moment. The power of now is your strongest advantage.

Many people wait until they have everything in place before they act, but that’s a myth. Progress and learning happen through action. Start today, even if it’s messy, and let momentum carry you forward.

4. Leverage Accountability and Rewards

Accountability accelerates success. Find a coach, an accountability partner, or a system that holds you to your word.

And don’t forget to celebrate! Small rewards for consistent progress build the kind of momentum that leads to big results.

5. Celebrate Progress Over Perfection

While achieving your goal is important, recognizing your progress is what keeps you going.

Long-term goals can feel daunting, but breaking them into smaller wins and celebrating each step forward keeps you motivated. Progress builds momentum, and momentum fuels mastery.

Your 2025 Action Plan

At the heart of every resolution is change—changing what you do or how you feel. The power to make that change is in your hands.

This year, don’t settle for wishful thinking. Take action, focus on progress, and let momentum carry you to mastery.

What step will you take today to start 2025 strong? Let me know which tip resonates most or ask a question—I’ll read every response.

Here’s to turning resolutions into results and making 2025 your best year yet!

To your Momentum & Mastery,

The Dark Side of Momentum: Why Disturbance Drives Success - Spencer Uncensored ep 85

Warning: This post contains explicit language. Good evening, Mavericks and Momentum Makers. You’re here because you’re not satisfied with average, and neither am I. This is Spencer Uncensored, Episode 85. If you're just joining us, buckle up. We’ve had 84 conversations before this about how to build momentum, boost mastery, and tap into the deeper levels of productivity, profitability, and purpose that most people only dream about. ​ Let’s get one thing straight: Businesses don’t grow—people do. The money, the success, the accolades—they all come on the backside of personal development. Why? Because over the last 20 years of working with business leaders, I’ve seen it over and over again: You don’t level up your business without leveling up yourself. If you’re new around here, welcome. And if you’ve been with me for a while, thanks for coming back. Let’s dive in. We recently wrapped up the Unshakeable Weekend Event—a three-day immersion where people changed their trajectories or cr...

Harnessing Resilience: Champion Mindset Collective with Anthony Dahya

 I recently had the privilege of joining Anthony Dahya on the Champion Mindset Collective Podcast to get deep into the journey that led to the creation of the Momentum & Mastery and the Unshakeable Framework. This conversation was a powerful reminder that resilience, clarity, and purpose can transform uncertainty into unstoppable progress. The Power of Personal Development in Professional Growth As I shared during the podcast, the foundation of my work in coaching, writing, and speaking has been built upon personal development. My journey has been shaped by a host of challenges—from battling physical issues like epilepsy to navigating divorce and family struggles. These experiences led me to a core belief: business growth is inherently tied to personal growth. Businesses don't grow; people do. Over two decades, I have honed the Unshakeable Framework to help leaders turn adversity into opportunity. This journey has been driven by a relentless pursuit of resilience, which I def...

Moving Beyond the Drift: Insights from the Evolve and Elevate Show

I recently joined Erica Bishop on her Evolve and Elevate podcast , where we explored the question that sits at the core of any meaningful journey: how do we move beyond the drift? Drifting isn’t laziness; it’s a natural tendency to fall back on routines and the familiar, but it’s also a trap. As we discussed, real progress—the kind that transforms careers, relationships, and lives—requires more than just wishful thinking. It demands movement. Our conversation centered on a framework I developed, a simple yet powerful structure to unlock momentum: Dream, Desire, Disturbance, and Decision . Each part is essential to creating true, unshakable progress. Here’s what that looks like: Dream Beyond the Drift On the show, we talked about how dreaming isn’t about daydreams or fantasies. It’s about envisioning a life that stretches the limits of our current reality. What would a fully aligned, purpose-driven life look like for you? When you allow yourself to dream big, you begin to expand the bo...
